An independent guide to Ireland's Intreo Centres and Social Welfare offices: where they are, when they open and how to get things done there.
Updated 2 October 2026 · checked against gov.ie and MyWelfare
Intreo Offices covers 124 public offices of the Department of Social Protection. Office details come from each office's official page on gov.ie, and the rules in our guides come from gov.ie and MyWelfare.ie. Every page links to its official source and shows when it was last checked.
The official information is spread across hundreds of pages and PDFs. We bring it together in one place: one page per office, the areas each one covers, whether you can walk in for a Public Services Card, where PPS numbers are allocated, and plain-English guides to the payments people ask about most.
We are not part of the Department of Social Protection, Intreo or gov.ie, and we cannot see, process or speed up any claim. Corrections are welcome: contact us. See how we verify.
